windmill service

Cattle on the ranch have access to drinking water from wells that have pumps powered by solar energy and/or wind energy.  Windmills need serviced periodically to be certain the gears are lubricated and bolts on the tower haven't loosened.  Blake's job on this day was checking the oil level in the gear chamber of this mill.  Arden's job was to pick Blake up if he fell off the tower, fortunately his help was not required.  We only do this job when the wind is not blowing.
